Karanja and I. Macharia Faculty of Agriculture, University of Nairobi, P.O. Box 29053, Nairobi, Kenya ABSTRACT A study to determine the distribution and population densities of plant parasitic nematodes associated with beans was undertaken in Kakamega, Kiambu, Machakos and Siaya districts of Kenya. Soil and root samples were taken from 25 randomly selected farms in each district. Nematodes in the genera Meloidogyne, Pratylenchus, Scutellonema and Helicotylenchus were frequently recovered in the rhizophere of bean plants with varying densities in the different locations of the study. Meloidogyne spp. and Pratylenchus spp. were the most predominant endoparasites occurring in 86 and 61% of the root samples, respectively. Scutellonema and Helicotylenchus species were present in 80 and 59% of the soil samples, respectively. Other nematodes found in association with bean plants were in the genera Tylenchorhynchus, Tylenchus, Criconemella, Aphelenchus, Hemicyliophora, and Trichodorus. Greenhouse tests were conducted to determine the effect of M. incognita infection on nodulation of bean genotypes. With the exception of bean genotype M28, Meloidogyne infection caused significant (P< 0.05) reductions in nodulation. In a second pot experiment, bean cv. GLP-24 was inoculated with Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. phaseoli alone and in various combinations with M. incognita. Both nodulation and the dinitrogen fixation processes were adversely affected especially in plants where nematode inoculation preceded rhizobial inoculation. Key Words: Bean genotypes, East African highlands, Helicotylenchus spp., Meloidogyne incognita, Pratylenchus spp., Scutellonema spp., Tylenchorhynchus spp. RÉSUMÉ Une étude pour déterminer la distribution et la densité de la population de nématodes parasitaires de plantes associés aux haricots a été initié dans les districts de Kakamega, Kiambu, Machakos et Siaya au Kenya. Les échantillons des racines et de sols ont été pris dans 25 fermes sélectionnées aléatoirement dans chaque districts. Les nématodes des genres Meloidogyne, Pratylenchus, Scutellonema et Helicotylenchus ont été fréquemment trouvés dans la rhizosphère des plantes de haricot avec des densité variées dans differentes parties du pay. Meloidogyne spp. et Pratylenchus spp. étaient des endoparasites les plus dominants apparaissant dans 86 et 67% d échantillons de racines, respectivement. Les espèces de Scutellonema et Helicotylenchus étaient présents dans 80 et 59% d échantillons de sol respectivement. Autres nématode trouvés en assoication avec la plante de haricot étaient des genres de Tylenchorhynchus, Tylenchus, Criconemella, Aphelenchus, Hemicyliophora et Trichodorus. Avec exception du génotype M28, l infection du Meloidogyne a causé de réduction significative (P<0.05) dans la nodulation. Dans le deuxième essai en pots des combinaisons de haricot avec M. incognita ont été considérées. Ensemble les processus de
2 dinitrification et de nodulation ont été défavorablement affectés spéciallement dans les plantes où les nématodes ont précédé l inoculation du Rhizobium. Mots Clés: Genotype de harricot, haute terre de l Afrique de l Est, Helicotylenchus spp., Meloidogyne incognita, Pratylenchus spp., Scutellonema spp., Tylenchorhynchus spp. Introduction Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are grown on an estimated 500,000 ha, in Kenya mainly in association with other crops, especially maize in Kenya (Wortmann and Allen, 1994; Gethi et al., 1997). The average yields of 750 kg ha -1 are often low compared to a potential kg ha -1 (Rheenen et al., 1981). The main constraints to bean production in descending order of importance are diseases, low soil fertility and insect pests (Otsyula and Ajang, 1995). Root-knot (Meloidogyne spp.) nematodes are recognised as a major constraint to bean farming, causing up to 60% yield losses in heavily infested fields (Ngundo and Taylor, 1974). Infection by root-knot nematodes is also known to suppress nodulation and hence nitrogen fixation in leguminous plants (Karanja, 1988; Siddiqui and Mahmood, 1994). Although Meloidogyne species are known to cause enormous losses on common bean, information on nematode populations in the bean growing areas of Kenya is lacking. This study was undertaken to determine the population density and frequency of occurrence of plant parasitic nematodes associated with common bean in Kenya and to determine the effect of root-knot nematodes on bean nodulation. Materials and Methods Sample collection. A survey of nematodes associated with dry bean was carried out in Kakamega, Kiambu, Machakos and Siaya districts between May and July Twenty soil and bean root samples were collected from each of the 25 randomly selected farms in each district. Plants were gently uprooted and a trowel was used to dig out soil from the bean rhizosphere to a depth of 25 cm. All the roots obtained from each farm were placed in a polythene bag but only about 3 kg of the composite soil sample from each farm was transported to the laboratory. Nematode damage assessment and extraction. Ten plants from each sample were examined for damage by root-knot nematodes. Damage due to root-knot nematodes was rated using a root-gall index scale of 0-10 (Bridge and Page, 1980). Nematodes were extracted from two 200 cm 3 soil volumes using the sieving and filtration method described by Hooper (1990). The root-knot nematodes were extracted from two batches of 5 g roots each using the maceration/filtration technique (Hooper, 1990). Extracted nematodes were fixed in hot 4% formalin. Identification of nematodes to genus level was done using an identification key and descriptions by Mai and Lyon (1975). Nematode population levels were determined from a counting slide under a compound microscope and expressed either as number per 200 cm 3 soil or 5 g roots. Effect of Meloidogyne infection on bean nodulation in different bean genotypes. Twenty bean genotypes were used in this test. Bean lines E1, E3, E4, NOB, M14, M24, M26, M28, M29, M30, L31, L32, L40 and L45, improved for multiple disease resistance, were obtained by the University of Nairobi Bean Improvement Project (Kimani et al., 1993). Bean lines
3 KK8, KK14, KK15 and KK22 were selected because of their resistance to root rot pathogens (Otsyula and Ajanga, 1995) while two of the commonly grown cultivars, GLP-24 and GLP- 1004, were included as checks. Plastic pots with a 15 cm diameter were filled with 2:1 (v/v) heat-sterilised loam soil: sand mixture and placed in a greenhouse. Bean seeds were surface sterilised using procedures described by Somasegaran and Hoben (1994). Four bean seeds were planted in each pot but thinning was done at emergence to leave two seedlings per pot. All plants were inoculated at emergence with Bradyrhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli strain 446 supplied by the Microbial Resource Centre (MIRCEN) of the University of Nairobi. Two ml of a rhizobial culture containing ca. 1x10 9 cfu ml -1 was pipetted into indentations made in the root zone of each plant (Somasegaran and Hoben, 1994). For each bean line, five pots were infested with 2000 juveniles (J2) of M. incognita at emergence. The juveniles were obtained by immersing galled tomato roots in sterile distilled water for 7 days (Omwega et al., 1988). The juveniles were suspended in 10 ml sterile distilled water. Surface soil was removed to expose some roots to which the inoculum was added and the soil was replaced. Treatments were arranged in a completely randomised design with 5 replications. Plants were maintained in the greenhouse with regular watering. The experiment was terminated six weeks after soil infestation with nematodes. Plants were gently uprooted from the pots and shaken to remove adhering soil. The total number of nodules on each plant was recorded before taking a random sample of 10 nodules for use in determining the percentage of those that were effective (pinkish in colour). Effect of time of inoculation with Meloidogyne on bean nodulation. Pots were filled with heat-sterilised loam soil: sand mixture as described above. Three bean cv. GLP-24 seeds were planted in each pot but thinning was done at emergence to leave one seedling per pot. Treatments consisted of plants inoculated with R. leguminosarum bv. phaseoli strain 446 alone at emergence, plants inoculated with strain 446 and M.incognita at emergence, plants inoculated with Rhizobium at emergence and M. incognita 10 days after emergence (DAE), and plants inoculated with M. incognita at emergence and strain 446 at 10 DAE. Treatments were arranged in a completely randomized design with 10 replications. Analysis of variance of the data was done using MSTAT-C (1990), and means compared using Least Significant Difference (LSD) tests. Results Nematodes associated with beans. Nematodes belonging to ten genera, Meloidogyne Goeldi, Pratylenchus Filipjev, Scutellonema Andrassy, Helicotylenchus Steiner, Tylenchorhynchus Cobb, Tylenchus Bastian, Hemicycliophora de Man, Criconemella Taylor, Aphelenchus Bastian and Trichodorus Cobb, were found associated with beans in Kakamega, Kiambu, Machakos and Siaya districts (Table 1). The predominant ectoparasites were in the genera Scutellonema and Helicotylenchus, with overall occurrences of 80 and 59%, respectively. The endoparasitic nematodes, Meloidogyne and Pratylenchus species, were present in 86 and 61% of the root samples, respectively. Table 1.

The most obvious symptoms of nematode damage were galls on roots caused by Meloidogyne species. Levels of damage varied (P < 0.05) among the districts, with highest and lowest root galling being observed in Kakamega and Kiambu districts, respectively (Fig. 1). Symptoms of damage by nematodes from the other groups were noncharacteristic, appearing mainly as reduced growth and yellowing of foliage. Effect of Meloidogyne infection on nodulation of different bean genotypes. Numbers of nodules on bean plants infected with M. incognita were significantly (P < 0.05) lower than in control, with the exception of lines E1 and M28 (Table 3). Reduction in nodulation ranged from 35.4% in line NOB to 100% in line E4. Numbers of nodules in plants inoculated with M. incognita were significantly (P < 0.05) different among the bean genotypes. For instance, no nodules were observed on the roots of bean line E4 inoculated with nematodes as compared to more than 111 nodules on roots of bean line NOB. Meloidogyne infection caused significant (P < 0.05) reduction in proportions of effective nodules in the bean genotypes tested, with the exception of bean cv. GLP-24 (Table 3). Table 3.

The number of nodules was significantly (P< 0.05) higher in bean cv. GLP-24 plants inoculated with rhizobia alone than in plants inoculated with combinations of rhizobia and M. incognita (Table 4). Plants inoculated with nematodes at emergence and with rhizobia 10 days after emergence (DAE) had the lowest number of nodules on their roots. The percentage of effective nodules was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in bean plants inoculated with rhizobia alone than those inoculated with rhizobia and M. incognita (Table 4).

Density and frequency of occurrence of nematodes in the four genera were highest in Kakamega district. Warm and wet conditions prevailing in the district (Jaetzold and Schmidt, 1983), coupled with a high cropping intensity of P. vulgaris are ideal for most plant parasitic nematode population build-up. Incidence and population densities of the predominant nematodes were, however, low in Kiambu district in spite of high cropping intensities in the district. This could be attributed to the high amount of cow manure, obtained from zerograzing units, incorporated into the soil in most farms (Woomer et al., 1998). The high frequency of occurrence of Meloidogyne species in bean fields in Kakamega, Kiambu, Machakos and Siaya districts supports previous reports that root-knot nematodes are commonly associated with beans in Kenya (Hollis, 1962). Damage caused by the nematodes varied significantly among the districts. Variation in damage can be attributed to many factors such as differences in bean cultivars and types, environmental factors and their interactive effect on nematode densities and parasitism (Egunjobi, 1974; Griffin et al., 1996). Our study showed that Pratylenchus spp. are common inhabitants of the rhizosphere of bean plants. Lesion nematodes, especially P. zeae, is a serious pest on maize in Kenya (Kimenju et al., 1998). Maize and beans are usually grown together in the small-scale holdings in Kenya (Wortmann and Allen, 1994; Gethi et al., 1997). Therefore, pathogenicity of Pratylenchus spp. associated with beans and their influence on bean growth needs to be determined. The finding that Meloidogyne infection suppresses bean nodulation in bean plants is consistent with previous reports (Karanja, 1988; Siddiqui and Mahmood, 1994). Biotic factors that affect nodule formation or dysfunction of existing nodules include nematode, viral and fungal infections (Tu et al., 1970; Bowen, 1978; Orellana et al., 1978; Khan, 1993). Several plant parasitic nematodes with different modes of parasitism have adverse effects on nodulation through competition for ecological niches and nutrients, and suppression of lateral root formation, thus reducing sites for nodule formation and early degradation of nodules because of nematode infection (Taha, 1993). Numbers of nodules on plants inoculated with M. incognita were significantly different among the bean genotypes tested in this study. This indicates that nematodes had variable
8 effects on nodulation in different bean genotypes. Conflicting observations have been made on the effect of nematode infection on bean nodulation (Hussey and Barker, 1976; Verdejo et al., 1988; Siddiqui and Mahmood, 1994). Our results show that the bean genotype used may influence the impact of nematode infection on nodulation. In the present study, bean nodulation was more adversely affected when inoculation with M. incognita preceded Rhizobium inoculation. In a related study, Sharma and Khurana (1991) reported that growth and nodulation of bean plants were normal in treatments where Rhizobium inoculation preceded nematode inoculation. However, inoculation with M. incognita prior to Rhizobium interfered with growth and nodulation in beans. Variation in nodulation ability among the bean lines used in this study was clearly demonstrated. These findings indicate that nitrogen fixation can be improved through selection of bean genotypes with high nodulation potential. However, presence of nodules is only a prerequisite for symbiotic nitrogen fixation but not a reliable parameter for measuring nitrogen fixation in legume-rhizobia symbiosis. Conclusions Plant parasitic nematodes in the genera Meloidogyne, Pratylenchus, Scutellonema and Helicotylenchus are widespread in bean growing areas in Kenya. The wide distribution and the enormous losses associated with root-knot (Meloidogyne spp.) nematodes justifies the development of control strategies that are acceptable to small scale bean growers. The influence of especially Pratylenchus spp. (which are recognised as important pests on maize) on growth and yield of this crop needs to be determined. Interference of root-knot nematodes with bean nodulation and effectiveness of the nodules formed was clearly demonstrated. This implies that nematode control should be incorporated in programmes aimed at improving soil fertility through symbiotic nitrogen fixation.
